Apollo III

They say that old racing yachts never die - they just sail off into a tropical sunset and it was indeed this fate that was in store for the Apollo III, Alan Bond's former America's Cup training ship, when she came to the end of her racing career. The Apollo III is a 55ft ocean racing ship that competed in many of the major races around the world. She now sails at a more relaxed pace, offering cruises on the Great Barrier Reef in the Whitsunday Islands. Accommodating just 12 guests, she has flat decks and full headroom throughout, offering a good level of comfort for fast sailing. Become part of the crew of this performance racing yacht: Set the sails, grind the winches or take a turn at the helm as you cruise through the idyllic scenery of the Whitsundays.
